I don't know how Coach P feels about certain people at TCU. I do think with NIL and the transfer portal he would hate being a head coach. I think the best thing for him and TCU is to bring him back as the Football Coach Emeritus. Allow him to do what is needed with boosters, coaches, and the university. If the head coach needs help then let him be there to help. I think if Coach P really hated TCU and everything that went down his former players would not be sending their kids to TCU.
Bringing back someone you let go almost never ends well. I miss Coach Patterson more than most on this board. I never wanted him fired. I also know that where the game is going his style is not cut out for it. I blame the NFL.

No! With all due respects to Coach GP, he has earned his time on the sidelines and as a fan. Money is not everything when you have it, and he does.
It’s time to think forward. Keep trying to find THAT one guy. It will be difficult to find someone dedicated to TCU as GP was.
Go Frogs!

In case you’ve forgotten about how many frustrating years we had at the end with Gary.

What she said.
The Portal and NIL were the reasons GP started to come apart. There were others, of course, but a fairly harsh disciplinarian just cannot survive when a kid can listen to the siren song of some other Program, promising much easier conditions and a ton of money, and hit The Portal without losing any eligibility. He said it himself: "It's like babysitting your Boss' kids."
GP is a dinosaur. He is a living remnant of a better, vanished time. We look fondly back at the heights of those years, and gloss over the rocky valleys. Nostalgia is no basis for making future plans.

In a conversation recently (Fri PM) GP said, no I'm finished. He sounds like Gary. FYI..recently on TV, you saw a quick tackle made by a Ft. Worth cop as he took out a bad criminal. .The Ft. Worth PD does not allow names and for good reason. But that takeout was made by an ex-TCU football player named Josh Patterson. Yip Gary's oldest. That bad guy was slow, very slow getting onto his feet.
Yet another tidbit, Josh's oldest son is some kind of baseball player. Plays in the out field. During batters changes you can spot Jett dancing waiting for the next batter. They're saying he's a complete natural. Hitting in the 300's, fast and aggressive, his future appears to be baseball. BTW..a good young guy to boot.

I’ll take GMFP back in a heartbeat. He can figure this new model out.
ADJD and CSD need to go!

I called my middle grandson Jett before he was born. He is pretty fast athlete. He gave his mother, our daughter, endless grief recently over her selection of his name, Landon, vs the name I gave him that more accurately defines him! She was told Pop Pop knows how to give better names!

If I remember your daughter was a B-52 pilot. The very first female to be captain of a B-52. That afternoon we met in Provo and you told me all about her. We won that game barely. That was many years ago

Near the end of his coaching gig, the entire staff grew complacent and really burned out. Gary forgot who he was working for, which developed into problems. Gary loved to say, once a PA, always a PA. No one doubts his love for TCU. We miss his record wins that's for sure.

Ah ha!!! Actually she was the first female bomber pilot in the USAFR, the very first female to fly the plane on active duty was at Barksdale during my A-10 days.
That “story” has a much different ending. (I’m sure someone will figure it out) Our daughter and her husband, were husband/wife B52 pilots for several years and retired together, on the same day, in May 2022, for the same reason.
”Jett” is her son and from what we can see, will be another version of ol #87 in some sport TBD. Equally good in both football and baseball, already over 6 feet in 8th grade, pretty good Qb, has 6 WR td’s in 3 games for Argyle, and has 5 sacks as a DE, mult TFL, 1 int as DE for TD and crushes baseballs like his favorite Ranger , Adolis! Still…..loves TCU, over his father’s Georgia Bullpuppies, or his mother’s LSU Teegre’s.
We look forward to another journey in our family, the last one was so much fun attending every game, home and away for 4 years! BYU was many years ago but then again it also seems like yesterday!

Tennessee tried that with Phil Fulmer.
Imagining GP coaching in this era is laughable. Almost everything he was about does not fly now.

I think even Saban could see that his way was not going to work much longer.

One of the reasons we are in this mess is CGPs recruiting failures his last two seasons, especially on the OL and DL.
